Irate customer drives car into Gadsden bank (photos)

GADSDEN, Alabama -- A man is in custody after he drove his car into a Gadsden bank this morning.

The incident happened about 9:15 a.m. at Regions Bank, 1001 Piedmont Cutoff, in East Gadsden, according to a policeman at the scene. A man described as an irate customer drove a silver car into the side of the building near the front entrance.

There were apparently no injuries. The bank wall was still standing, though it was possible to see inside the building's lobby.

The car was towed away within a couple of hours. A Gadsden Police officer was on the scene to secure the site and send customers away until bank security could arrive. No one working at the bank would comment on the situation.
